About the Snow Centre Open to skiers and snowboarders of all abilities!

Whether you’re a seasoned pro looking for new freestyle features each week, just beginning your Snowsports journey or simply want to have a whizz down our fun Ringo Slide, you’ll find it at The Snow Centre.

During your session feel free to visit our Schuss Bar on the slope, where you can help yourself to FREE tea & coffee. Available 7 days a week.

Off the slope join us in our alpine themed restaurant on the 2nd floor - The Lodge Bar & Kitchen which offers panoramic views over the slope and an all new menu combined with traditional favourites and delicious alpine dishes too. It’s also a great place to come and enjoy live Sky Sports on one of our many big-screen TVs. Or grab a quick bite to eat and a coffee at The Drop In Coffee Shop on the Ground Floor.

We’re delighted to partner with Switzerland Tourism, as well as Valais, incorporating Saas-Fee, Aletsch Arena, Val d’Anniviers, Thyon and Nendaz, as well as SWISS International Airlines. Click here for more information about what Switzerland has to offer.

We also provide elite competition level instruction and instructor education. All taught by our seasoned, experienced professionals.

Pete ‘Silver’ Gillespie, who heads up the Snowsports School has been a professional Snowsports instructor and ski courses coach for more than 22 years. He says, ‘All our instructors are continually assessed and appraised to ensure we maintain the highest possible standards. Our lessons range from beginner classes for adults and children as young as four right up to courses for new instructors, private lessons and even video assessment.’
